Dugout Discussion – Liverpool vs Everton

Gameweek 30 begins in a cauldron of a Merseyside derby.

Anfield provides the venue as Liverpool host Everton, providing Fantasy managers with an opening fixture of huge significance.

Romelu Lukaku heads into this contest as the top owned asset in Fantasy Premier League, as part of 47.2% of squads. The Belgian has nine goals in his last six and has scored in each of his last four – irresistible form that will surely stretch a Liverpool defence that has rarely looked assured this season.

But Jurgen Klopp’s charges have their own key Fantasy assets on show.

The Premier League’s top scorers with 61, they were boosted by the recent transfer traffic ahead of Gameweek 28, with the Reds attacking trio of Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Philippe Coutinho still established as hugely popular figures.

Owned by 17.7% of FPL managers, Coutinho has proved a bitter disappointment of late, with just a single goal from his last 11 Premier League outings. Meanwhile, Firmino has rewarded his 9.9% ownership with just one goal in six. That leaves Mane carrying the major expectations as Liverpool’s top scoring FPL asset – he has produced three goals in his last five Gameweeks and is backed by 23.6% ahead of today’s clash.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      I reckon he will do. And to make it worse my auto sub Carroll will score.

    No Walker... WHAT?

    1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Trippier to Janssen combo, makes sense

  5. PvA
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Costa, Holebas and Snodgrass start

    Son, Walker and Moses don't start

    Pedro playing as a wing back because Moses isn't playing

    Looks like Lanzini will play a little deeper because Ayew looks like he will be the number 10

    Watford back to 3 at the back with Holebas starting

    1. Mic
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Chelsea 4-3-3 not wingback

      1. PvA
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Courtois (13)
        Azpilicueta (28), Luiz (30), Cahill (24)
        Pedro (11), Matic (21), Kanté (7), Fàbregas (4),Alonso (3)
        Hazard (10)
        Costa (19

        You sure it isn't that?

        1. Mic
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Not sure, thinking he went 433 to break down big sams wall

      My rival captained Pedro, so I'm happy with that

    Frustratingly only did aguero out for Vardy so I could get alli for King.

    Now looks like I might have been able to ditch mane for alli anyway.

    1. Frank Koscielny

      Impossible to predict, give me a break

  15. fedolefan

    No Walker means Barkley comes on for me. Come on useless Ross!

    1. Whazza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Could get some mins

    2. fiveyears

    3. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      He may come off bench though

  16. Super Silva Haze
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    All my players start. Just Hope Siggy and Llorente are not rotated tomorrow.

    1. Dr. Mantis Toboggan
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Rotated for what? They're in a relegation scrap

  17. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 14 Years

    Lukaku has been dreadful

    1. Arctic monkeys
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Lukaku to Ibra ?

    2. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      ...isn't exactly selling himself to Europe's top clubs if he wants CL football.

  18. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Trippier back at his old club for sentiment or a proper challenge to Walker for the spot?

    1. fiveyears
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      No its rotation that Pochettino does a fair bit with full backs, game midweek too

  19. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Think it's time to get rid of Lukaku for Vardy now.

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Think you had to make that move this week or not at all

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Liverpool dodgy at the back so figured Lukaku would get some joy, but they look totally inept without Coleman.

        1. JÆKS ⭐
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Indeed, but don't get rid of Lukaku imo. Good fixtures after Manu game

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      For Ibra imo

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        True.

    Walker benched just means Spurs won't keep a clean sheet and jammy owners will get jammy bench points (e.g. clean sheets and goals)

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …

    Mane now out of the bonus...

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Still got winning goal baps to come though.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        For scoring the first goal? 😕

        1. Dr Kenneth Noisewater
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          The scorer of the goal that puts the winning team ahead gets the bonus points.

              • 10 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              Ah yes. I'd managed to blank Pennington.

    2. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Is that it for his bonus then?
